The SOLAS Safe Pass Health and Safety Awareness Training Programme was developed in consultation with relevant stakeholders and continues to be updated to ensure workers are aware of the safety standards within the construction industry and are able to work on site without being a risk to themselves or others.

Upon successful completion of the SOLAS Safe Pass Safety Awareness Training Programme participants are registered in the SOLAS Safe Pass Scheme and issued with a registration card. The card lasts for four years from the date of the training course and it is a condition of renewal of the registration card that participants must update their safety awareness training every four years.
